An Apple a day keeps the doctor away is what they say, but why stop at an apple? Sure, apples are great, rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, but what about the other fruits and vegetables? How about “Eat multiple servings of fruits and veggies a day to keep the doctor away!” Ahh, it doesn’t ring as well, that’s probably why it didn’t catch on.

Bananas are great though, and often overlooked as an awesome health food with so many benefits. They aren’t just for monkeys, we can have them too.

Bananas are one of the most readily available fruits in the world, they are priced fairly cheap and provide energy and nutrition for next to nothing. In fact, when I was living in Costa Rica (and when I go back) I’ll be paying just 6 cents per banana! How incredible is that? You can buy nutrition for 6 cents! Still in America, a bunch of organic bananas is under 2 bucks for five bananas or so.

They are rich in fiber, potassium, manganese, vitamin C and more. Learn how these benefit your health, well-being and energy levels in this video:

The Three Main Tangible Health Benefits Of Bananas Are:

Energy can become harder to come by in a busy, fast-paced stressful environment! Bananas can help with that. Fats and proteins are two of the toughest macronutrients to digest so this helps your digestive system in a huge way to create more ease and less stress on these organs.

Bananas also contain prebiotics which are beneficial for helping the gut to create probiotics to have rich, healthy bacteria activity in the gut.

As you can see, bananas are rich in B-Vitamins and minerals beneficial for your health and well-being! Consume more bananas, they’re a great food for nutrition at a great value as well.
